But was it always like that? MSN posted an article this week talking about the latest research findings about Venus&#8217; beginnings and change of atmosphere over time due to massive volcanic eruptions which led to the hefty increases in carbon dioxide that are now making the planet so warm (even in comparison to what we expect due to its closer orbit to the sun).\u00a0 Will the Earth someday become like Venus? Probably not, but it does provide some interesting information about other planetary atmospheres.
